<p>Is there a procedure, a label or a "general approach" when an issue is waiting for a feedback from the reporter?<br>
I'm looking at <a href="#narrow/stream/245100-t-compiler.2Fwg-prioritization.2Falerts/topic/I-prioritize.20.2377094.20Cargo.20freezes.20at.20Building.20stage.20with.20ve.E2.80.A6">rust#77094</a> which is just new, but I was wondering if other issues have been waiting for reporter feedback for longer (and how to find them)<br>
cc: <span class="user-mention" data-user-id="120823">@DPC</span>  any thoughts on this?</p>

<p>needs-mcve means anyone can do it; this means in particular we want to hear from the author about what code they were using</p>

<p>Could someone with write access make a new label called <code>E-needs-more-info</code> with the description of</p>
